Chapter 439: Hisako: Can Sacrificing My Body Give Me Power?
Back in the Barbarian Land.
"How strange. There’s no trace of space at all. How is it teleporting?" Ren’s expression was strange. He had deliberately paid attention to the three teleportation processes but found no trace of spatial change. His idea of finding a trajectory to travel back and forth fell through.
Ren refocused his attention. Sakurajima Mai and the others were staring blankly at his sudden appearance. He observed that they were currently inside a green circle, protected by Phantylia’s power.
"Why are you all so reserved? What happened?" he asked, seeing they all seemed quite nervous.
While he was gone, they had been discussing him. "Um..." Sakurajima Mai was very embarrassed; she had just said he was lecherous.
Nakiri Erina looked like she wanted to speak but hesitated. Finally, she made up her mind. "Ren-kun, do you know if there will be a next Doomsday Game?"
"I’m not clear on that. The game always appears randomly," he spread his hands. "So, I am powerless to say."
"..." Indeed. The situation was even more complex than imagined. The more this was the case, the less they could sit back and do nothing.
Nakiri Erina, who understood that waiting was a slow death, plucked up her courage. "Ren-kun, I want to know how to gain power."
"Gain power?" Her expression was serious.
Ren stroked his chin and didn’t hide anything. "If you clear the game and have survival points, you can gain abilities."
"Then how do you get survival points?" she pressed on.
"Kill monsters."
"..." They had no ability. They couldn’t kill monsters. They couldn’t get points. They couldn’t get abilities. This was an unsolvable problem. For a moment, she felt powerless. It was her first time facing a situation where she felt so helpless.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "Ren-kun, can you grant abilities to others? Besides angels?"
"Yes," he nodded without hesitation.
"Really?!" She seemed to see hope and was thinking about what kind of trade would be appropriate.
However, Ren suddenly said, "Don’t think too much. I don’t care about anything you possess. Simply put, you don’t have what I need."
One sentence completely shut down her thoughts. The hope that had just ignited instantly extinguished.
Seeing her disappointed expression, Hisako Arato anxiously walked over. "Mr. Ren, if... if I am willing to offer my body, can you grant Erina-sama abilities?"
!!! Rindo Kobayashi and Sakurajima Mai looked at her in surprise. They hadn’t expected she was serious.
"Hisako! What are you saying?" Nakiri Erina pulled her back. How could she possibly need someone to sell their body to gain the ability to survive?
"Erina-sama..." Hisako lowered her head. She had made up her mind long ago. For Erina-sama, she was willing to do anything.
??? Ren was full of question marks. "What do you mean? What is offering one’s body for an ability? Can someone explain?"
He looked at Nao, who respectfully replied, "Master, the ladies believe you are affectionate and benevolent, so they wish to obtain your Grace by offering their bodies..."
Affectionate and benevolent? Nao was very good with words. They clearly meant ’lecherous,’ but in her mouth, it became something else.
"Huh? So you guys think I’m a pervert?" Ren scanned them speechlessly, especially Sakurajima Mai, who was bowing her head in shame. He knew it must be related to her.
"Forget it. There’s no such thing. Just do your own thing. Nao, come with me." He was too lazy to bother with such misunderstandings and took Nao away.
Hisako pursed her lips. "I’m sorry, Erina-ojousama. I think I messed up."
"Idiot Hisako!" She reached out and flicked her forehead hard. "I haven’t fallen to the point of selling a friend’s body."
"Ahem, it should be my fault," Sakurajima Mai, who had caused this, also felt very guilty.
"Miss Mai, don’t worry about it. This is the price we pay for trying to get information," Erina said. Compared to dwelling on whose fault it was, she was more concerned with how to obtain points through other means. She looked at Rindo, Nene, and Momo. "Do you have any ideas?"
Rindo glanced at Hisako and grinned. "Night raid? Offering? Freebie?"
Nakiri Erina saw her loose tongue and chose to ignore her. Momo also looked socially awkward, so only Nene seemed reliable. Her gaze fell on her.
Nene was still calm, but her words were simple: "Let nature take its course." Through situational analysis, this was the only conclusion she could draw.
Alright, it seems there’s nothing we can do but wait for death. Erina was very helpless.
